Time flies to the end of 1892. In the past two years, the world has been relatively calm on the surface, but that is only the surface. In the dark, whether it is Europe, the Far East or the Americas, there are undercurrents.

The United States has developed rapidly and entered the era of imperialism. The US imperial monopoly capital consortium urgently needs to open up new markets, investment places and raw material production areas, so various propaganda machines have created public opinion on foreign expansion. The United States wants to re-dividate the world's colonies, but the whole world has been divided up by old colonial powers. Although the United States has begun to strengthen its strength in the Atlantic Ocean, it is still unable to compete with Britain, France and other countries. The old empire Spain is the best choice. The United States has sent negotiators to Spain to propose the intention to buy Cuba, but it was rejected by Spain.

The situation in Europe is as always, Britain is gloriously isolated, and Germany and France are fighting for Russia.

In the Far East, the Beiyang Manchus had not added a single ship or a gun for several years. The ship and gun were already behind. Although last year, the Beiyang Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang made an appeal to buy a fast gun with a fast gun, the reply received was only two words - no money.

However, at this time, in several major shipyards in Europe, you can often see Hiromori Ito in tuxedo and the officials he sent. Hiromori Ito was the Japanese foreign minister at this time. Emperor Meiji was responsible for purchasing ships in Europe and ordered the "Yomori" in the UK last year. (The ferry search was made by Yoshino Japan, and the ship that Li Hongzhang wanted to buy was the same class ship Blanco Enkarada that Chile wanted to transfer)

Chile, South America, had just ended its civil war and entered a period of economic development, and at the same time ended its arms race with Argentina. A cruiser ordered in the UK in the early years had already been planned to be re-sold.

In Hawaii, Qin Ge's dock is like the docks along the Pacific coast of the United States, and it is ping-pong every day. Qin Ge has handed over the designed dreadnoughts drawings to Anderson.

The first dreadnought in history took less than a year to launch it, but Qin Ge did not have as many technical workers as the UK, and only Anderson was the only engineer. Although some people in the army who studied abroad before were studying with Anderson, they were still early to get out of the army and could only help fight their subordinates.

Qin Ge's hope warship could be launched before 1895. It took less than a year for Britain. But I could always get one out after three or four years. As long as I get the first one, it would be much easier to get it next.

Holland had already built a submarine with a displacement of 260 tons, but did not do it as Qin Ge said at the beginning. Its appearance is similar to that of a German U-shaped submarine and it also installed a 77mm cannon.

Qin Ge named the submarine U-1 because it looked so similar that Qin Ge could not imagine a suitable name.

The U-1 has a displacement of 260 tons and two underwater torpedo launchers. This is a new thing. The submarine can carry 4 360mm torpedoes, with a 77mm and 50-distance cannon. The surface speed reaches 14 knots and the underwater speed is 10 knots.

Holland adopted Qin Ge's suggestion of diesel engines for surface navigation and electric motors for underwater navigation. He appreciated Qin Ge's suggestions, because the use of diesel engines for surface navigation can charge batteries, so that the submarine can turn off the diesel engine when entering combat and save oxygen in the submarine.

However, since there is no better compressive structure and the material of the compressive wall is not very advanced, the diving depth is only a little over 30 meters, but at this time, this is enough.

After years of training, Qin Ge's soldiers' combat effectiveness is no less than that of Germany. Moreover, Qin Ge created a rubber bullet, and the troops have undergone three live-fire confrontation exercises. I believe that when they are pulled on the battlefield, there will never be any phenomenon that they dare not even dare to poke out of the trench.

Penicillin is still not able to sell a tablet. Of course, this has a lot to do with Qin Ge's failure to do publicity work.

Bright found Qin Ge on that day. His wife was cut by grass while playing and became infected. She is now having a high fever, but the doctor has no choice.

In desperation, Bright thought of the word anti-infectious protein-Q. He thought for a long time before he remembered that it was the medicine sold by Qin Ge two years ago. However, the pharmacy was closed at this time, so Bright came to Qin Ge. Now he can only be considered dead and he is a living person. I hope Qin Ge's medicine is really effective.

Qin Ge saw Bright looking anxious and said, "Oh, Lord Minister, what exactly can make you so anxious?"

"Oh, Qin, I finally saw you. I remember you have a drug called anti-infectious agent-Q?" Bright asked by grabbing Qin Ge's hand.

"Qing...anti-infectious agent? Why? Are you interested in it? But it's more expensive now." Qin Ge almost said the word penicillin, and thought to himself: Could this guy be infected? It looks okay? Could it be syphilis? Penicillin can't handle syphilis!

"Uh...you're infected?"

"No, it's my wife. She was scratched by grass while traveling a few days ago. The wound was very shallow. She didn't care at that time, so she didn't disinfect the wound. Yesterday I suddenly had a fever and my body temperature couldn't drop, and the doctor had no choice."

"Oh, so you want to buy a bottle of anti-infectious agents and want to be a living horse? I tell you, mine must be absolutely effective."

"If it works, I can help you with publicity."

"There's no need." Qin Ge said, but thought to himself: Your wife will definitely promote me when she gets up. Women are always so gossipy, right?

"There are a few bottles in my room. You wait and I'll get them to you."

...

"200 pounds! Pay money and deliver goods in one hand." Qin Ge said with the medicine in his hand.

“What?!200 pounds!”

"Oh, isn't your wife's life worth £200?"

"Uh...well, I hope your medicine is really effective! But I didn't bring that much money. Look... can you owe it first?"

"OK, no problem, but you have to write me an IOU."

"Oh, can I not even have such credit for my dignified German minister?" Bright was so angry that he vomited blood. Qin Ge actually asked him to write an IOU, which clearly did not believe in his character.

"Uh... forget it, you have to take it first. There are 9 pills in the bottle. Take one pill every time, three times a day, and it doesn't take it once every 4 hours. It will definitely be fine after the medicine is finished."

"Oh, I remember that I used to have 10 pills per bottle?" Bright asked after taking the medicine.

"Because I will take one tablet of 10 medicines in the end, I reduced one tablet."

Blait nodded, feeling it made sense, and he said, "Then I'll go back first. I will thank you when my wife gets up."

"No need, just remember to owe me £200."

Bright, who had just turned around, almost fell down when he heard this.

After returning to the embassy by car, Bright immediately ran to his wife's bed.

"Oh, my dear, I'm afraid I won't live for a few days. You must take good care of your children." Delena noticed her husband's arrival and began to explain her funeral. No wonder, the mortality rate of infection at this time exceeded 95%. Delena felt that she was already a little confused now.

"Oh, my dear, you will be fine. I have already gotten some medicine to cure you."

"Even a doctor can't do anything. How could there be a medicine that can cure me?" said Delena.

Bright went to pour a cup of warm water, then opened the bottle and poured out a white pill.

"Dear, come on, take the medicine." Bright put the medicine into Delena's mouth and then brought the water to her mouth.

Delena obediently took the medicine, but she didn't want to disobey her husband's intentions.

After Delena took the medicine, Bright said: "You have a good rest, and you will be much better after a night's sleep."

Delena obediently closed her eyes and went to bed. Bright took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was one o'clock in the afternoon.

"The next time I take the medicine is 5 o'clock." Bright said in his heart.

At 5 o'clock, Bright appeared in his wife's room on time. Bright gently pushed his wife and said, "Dear, it's time to take medicine."

"Oh, my dear, when is it now? Well? My head doesn't seem to hurt much!" After Delena was woken up by her husband, she felt that her head no longer hurts.

"Oh, really? It seems that this is really effective. Come on, take the medicine first, I'll get the thermometer." Bright said happily.

Because it was indeed much better, Delena took the medicine and cup from her husband's hand and took the medicine.

Bright found a thermometer, disinfected it with alcohol and wiped it clean.

"Dear, come, open your mouth."

...

Bright looked quietly at the mercury column of the thermometer. After two minutes, it showed that it was 39 degrees, and after five minutes, it showed that it was 39 degrees.

"Oh, my dear, the temperature has dropped, it has dropped!" Bright shouted excitedly.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwu..." Delena wanted to speak, but she couldn't spit out a word while shouting at the thermometer. He turned the thermometer on and quickly looked at the thermometer.

"Oh, it's 38.5 degrees, it's really down! Oh, my dear, you just looked at it. By the way, what medicine did you give me? Even the infection can be cured!" Delena threw the thermometer aside.

Delena originally thought she was dead. Not many people in the world who had wounds infected could survive, but now she only took one pill, and the symptoms caused by the infection quickly improved a lot. This surprised her very much. What kind of medicine can have such a miraculous effect.

Penicillin has such miraculous effects, thanks to the bacteria at this time that they have no resistance to drugs. If they are placed in later generations, some medicine bottles will have the words "The bacteria are resistant to drugs, and this product may not work for certain symptoms."

Bright took out the small medicine bottle and said, "You said this? This is anti-infection-Q."

"Anti-Infectious Infectious Mineral-Q? Is it the medicine sold at the pharmacy that opened near Honolulu two years ago?" Delena suddenly thought of the pharmacy that Qin Ge opened two years ago.

"Oh, that's right. This medicine was made by Mr. Qin, but everyone thought it was a money-scammer."

There is only one person who can make his husband called Mr. Qin, that is, the prince-consor Qin Ge of Hawaii. He didn't expect that the medicine belonged to him.

"Isn't that pharmacy closed?" Delena said.

"The pharmacy is closed, but the pharmaceutical factory is not closed! The disinfectant alcohol is still being transported to China!"

"That's what kind of medicine is there, Mr. Qin?"

"It should be, but I don't know if it's still being produced. I heard that the raw materials for this medicine are difficult to find."

"Oh, then we should buy more to save." Delena agreed with the statement that it is difficult to find raw materials. After all, if it was easy to produce, it would not have been sold for £50 a bottle.

"Buy more?" Bright smiled bitterly. "Dear, do you know how much the bottle of medicine I have on my hand?"

"Isn't it 50 pounds?" Delena asked back.

"50 pounds?" Bright threw the small medicine bottle in his hand twice, "This bottle of medicine costs 200 pounds!"

"What?! That is to say, I've eaten £40?" Delena thought a bottle was 10 pieces.

"To be precise, it's £44.44, now there are 9 tablets per bottle." Bright shook the bottle of medicine.

"Oh! How could it become so expensive!"

"Because no one bought it at the beginning, but it is not as expensive as your life." Bright said.

"Oh. Dear, I, I am so moved, I..." Delena shed tears, "But why can't I sell it and raise the price? I really can't figure it out."

"I couldn't understand it at the beginning, but now I understand it because it is really effective. Look, if you only eat one piece, it will be much better immediately. When people have to choose one of money and life, I think everyone will choose the latter." Bright now understands why Qin Ge couldn't sell it at the beginning but still had to increase the price, because Qin Ge knows how precious this medicine is.

"No matter how expensive it is, you should buy two bottles and put them away. This medicine is probably not much! If someone wants to buy it after buying it, you can't buy it. And this medicine is so effective, do you see if you send a telegram to China? Although we can't afford it, those noble and wealthy businessmen will definitely buy it. As you said, when people have to choose one of money and life, I think everyone will choose the latter." Delena immediately began to think about her husband.

"Yes, then I think the nobles and wealthy businessmen in China will definitely remember me!" Bright said with his eyes shining.
